"Dear Graeme,
I am so grateful to you for writing the Little Sprouts books and sending me the first four sets. I introduced them to my 5-year old granddaughter a few days ago when I arrived for a holiday visit. She can read them! She loves them! She begs to be able to read the next book every day! Of course at the school they are telling her to guess at words from pictures, memorize "by sight," and read by magic.
You have made the perfect series for beginners who know their short vowels and consonant sounds and are ready to use that knowledge to actually read. The transformation in our little Nell, to her believing that she is a reader after just 8 books in Series 1, is exactly what I wish every child could experience. I feel certain that she is on the path to success now.
I hope all is well with you and that many other families and teachers have discovered these wonderful books!
Letter to author Graeme Wilkinson from Louisa Moats"
